Chapter 39: Breaking the Generation
"Hehe, of course not, this wine, that is, everyone evaluates and evaluates, and we are often like this, it doesn't matter if it's right or not!" Lin Feng on the side glanced at Jin Yanxiu, who frowned slightly, and said with a smile.
But Zhao Yang seemed to be a little nervous at this time, and smiled proudly: "Okay, let's talk about it, if you are right, I still have two branches to give to you! If this is not right, then you have to admit punishment!"
"Zhao Yang is just playing, it's casual whether you taste it or not!" Jin Yanxiu laughed lightly.
Zhao Yang took a sip of the wine glass gently, shook the cup in his hand in a chic manner, and let the wine scatter a circle of red hanging on the crystal wall of the glass, and nodded with a smile: "Hey Yanxiu, your classmate is no one else, of course we are playing, if Xiaonan is right, why don't I give him two wines? If he is wrong, let him drink a glass!"
Kim Yeon-so frowned slightly, and finally stopped talking.
Lin Xiaolei was a little worried, Zhao Yang was obviously a little aimed at Yi Xiaonan, and Xiao Nan's family background was not good, that is, he had recently inherited some of his uncle's inheritance, and he was afraid that he had drunk red wine more than ten times before, how could he taste it?
Feeling the suspicious eyes of everyone, Xiao Nan smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and shook the wine glass in his hand, looked at the hanging wall on the wine glass, took a sip slightly, and let the wine flow gently under the tongue, feeling the faint tannins and fragrance in it, and then swallowed it slowly.
Looking at the calm smile on Yi Xiaonan's face and the familiar wine tasting action, Zhao Yang frowned slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was still there.
But Lin Feng's face next to him was a little solemn.
He recommended this wine to Zhao Yang, as a real senior wine collector and enthusiast, and even he has a considerable sommelier certificate.
The other party's guy named Xiao Nan, the action and feeling of this wine tasting are extremely similar to the demeanor of some real wine tasters he has seen!
"I don't know exactly what has happened to Margaux in recent years, but I still have a certain understanding of wine produced 2,000 years ago!"
As if Xiaonan casually raised the wine glass in his hand, he gestured and said: "But this wine is indeed good, in addition to its smooth taste and rich tannins, the aroma is still unique, in addition to the common fruit and oak aromas, you can taste it more obviously that there is also its most iconic mineral aroma!"
"And with this mineral note, we can confirm that it is indeed from the Château Margaux on the left bank of Bordeaux!"
With Xiao Nan's indifferent words and explanations, Zhao Yang's brows became more and more furrowed, but Lin Feng next to him nodded slowly with a look of surprise in his eyes. In any case, the fact that the other party can talk about this means that his knowledge of red wine is at least not below him.
And Jin Yanxiu, Lin Xiaolei and others next to them looked at Yi Xiaonan's eyes full of surprise, obviously they didn't expect that Xiao Nan knew so much about red wine.
Looking at the surprise and joy of Jin Yanxiu and the others, Zhao Yang frowned, and said with a snort: "This is the characteristic of Château Margaux wine, which can be found by searching on the Internet!
Yi Xiaonan smiled lightly: "Indeed, the points just now are generally known to those who know Château Margaux, but the wine of Château Margaux, if it is a good vintage, it has a great characteristic, and it is this point that makes the price of this vintage wine soar!"
"Oh, what are the characteristics?" Lin Feng finally couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.
Zhao Lin, who was originally looking at it with a light smile, saw that Lin Feng also spoke up at this time, and his expression couldn't help but move slightly, and he looked at Yi Xiaonan next to him with a hint of surprise.
She naturally knew that the knowledge of red wine that her brother was selling was basically what Lin Feng told him, and Lin Feng really knew more about red wine.
And Lin Feng turned out to be like this, it seems that this Xiaonan really has some ability.
"You can try tasting it again, calm down, and slowly let the wine swirl around your tongue, if you are more sensitive, you can feel that in addition to the fruity and oak aroma, there is also a faint violet aroma!"
With Yi Xiaonan's confident and indifferent words and smile, everyone couldn't help but pick up their wine glasses, and slowly tasted them according to the method that Yi Xiaonan said, and even Zhao Yang had a gloomy face and felt it.
"Hey, really, there's really a faint floral scent, it's the smell of violets!" Kim Yeon-so was the first to cry out in surprise.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Feng also looked at Yi Xiaonan and said in surprise: "Sure enough, under the cover of fruity and oak aromas, there is indeed such a faint violet fragrance!"
Not long after, Lin Xiaolei also nodded in surprise: "Ah, really, there is really such a fragrance of flowers, if you don't feel it repeatedly, you really can't feel it!"
Zhao Yang looked at Yi Xiaonan with a gloomy face at this time, and snorted: "That's true, but if you want my two bottles of Margaux, you have to confirm the correct vintage!"
"The bottle has been decanted for about 30 minutes now, but it still has a slight sourness, indicating that it should be around 90 years old. ”
"As for the Margaux around '90, I remember that only the two vintages of '88 and '91 were better, and the left bank of Bordeaux had moderate rain and plenty of sunshine, so that it could produce good grapes and excellent wines!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yang's face had changed greatly.
As for Lin Feng, he was already amazed and admired.
Yi Xiaonan smiled and said, "Of course, in terms of taste, I can only judge that this wine should be produced in these two vintages!"
"That's amazing!" Lin Feng couldn't help but admire: "Just like this, you are already one of the best wine tasting masters I have ever seen!"
Zhao Yang, who had been with a gloomy face on the side, looked at Yi Xiaonan at this time, and glanced at Jin Yanxiu next to him, and after being slightly silent for a while, he suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, laughed slowly, and raised his glass and said: "Okay, classmate Xiaonan, admire, although you can only do this step, I still admire you, amazing! Those two bottles of wine, they will be delivered another day!"
Hearing this, Jin Yanxiu next to her glanced at Zhao Yang unexpectedly, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
And Lin Xiaolei and Tao Yunyun also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if this is really for this matter to make everyone look bad, it will not be good.
As if Xiaonan also smiled, although this Zhao Yang was a little arrogant, but he was not the kind of person who couldn't afford to lose, he immediately picked up the wine glass and touched it with Zhao Yang, and said with a smile: "Zhao Yang, your wine is really good, so I really want it, thank you very much! However, I also have to tell you that a gentleman loves wine and takes it in a good way, I think this wine should be ninety-one years old!"
Zhao Yang and Lin Feng were both stunned, Zhao Yang opened his mouth wide, and said in amazement: "You don't know how to guess, right?"
"Of course not, although I can't judge by taste, but as far as I know, the production of this Margaux in '88 was not high, only about 2,000 pieces, and then one year because of a super large banquet, about 1,200 pieces were consumed, so the total outflow on the market did not exceed 800 pieces, but the output of 91 years was 5,000 pieces, since you can get four, it must be 91 vintage!"
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaonan shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly: "Because of eight or eight years of wine, if you can get one, it will already be a miracle!"
Zhao Yang and Lin Feng laughed, and after glancing at each other, they raised their glasses and said, "Come, cheers!"
"Cheers!" the crowd burst out laughing.
